Replicatie door RecoverPoint What’s new? Samenvatting


Components and Topology • Application servers

– Physical or virtual, federated, clustered or stand-alone

– Accesses data that needs to be replicated

• Heterogeneous storage – Source or target for replicated data

• RecoverPoint appliance (RPA) – Connects to LAN and Fibre Channel (FC)/WAN for

replication management and replicating data – Connects to storage through Fibre Channel

• RecoverPoint appliance cluster – A group of inter-linked RPAs, working together

closely, to provide replication services – RPAs in a RecoverPoint cluster are called nodes

• WAN bandwidth management – Reduce WAN bandwidth by up to 90% through

deduplication, compression, and write-folding – Cap replication bandwidth

Comparison of RecoverPoint and SRDF

• Any-to-any replication, including VPLEX

• Any EMC storage to any EMC storage

• Granular data protection (recovery to any point in time

• Integrated WAN bandwidth-management

RecoverPoint

VPLEX

• Gold standard for mission critical environments

• Application consistency for federated datasets

• Highly scalable and performance optimized

SRDF


1. Divide data into 512-byte blocks 2. Determine if blocks are unique or if they exist at replica 3. Compress and replicate only unique blocks 4. Sends data compressed, which is inflated at target 5. Create journal entry with existing and replicated blocks 6. Requires homogeneous GEN4 RecoverPoint appliances

VNX Series Support Provides unified replication

for file and block

Replicates up to 300 TB for RecoverPoint/SE

RecoverPoint/SE is included in the Local and Remote Protection Suites orderable with the VNX series arrays

RecoverPoint/SE has a frame-based ordering structure

VNX7500 VNX5700 VNX5100 VNX5500 VNX5300


File System Support for VNX Series Arrays

Supports all NAS LUNs

Single consistency group (CG) for file system replication per array

On NAS failover: – Primary site Data Movers will fail

over or shut down

Restrictions

Only VNX series, no NS or Celerra

No RecoverPoint Image Access for NAS consistency group

CLI failover only

Site Recovery Manager for NAS must use Replicator

NAS consistency group must use CRR; CDP and CLR not supported

Distributed consistency groups are not supported for NAS

Journaling for Application-Aware Recovery

Time/date: – Exact time (down to

milliseconds) that the image was stored

Size: – Size of image

Image bookmark details: – System-, EMC-, or user-

generated bookmarks

Bookmark consolidation options – System decides (blank) – Survive a daily, weekly, or

monthly consolidation – Never consolidate

Journal includes replicated data plus metadata

Recovery Process Request recovery through

GUI, CLI, or through other integrations

Since all changes are in journal, applicable changes are applied before recovery completed

Write Splitters Array-based (recommended), fabric-based, and host-based

write splitters Intercepts writes from the host and splits each write Managed through RecoverPoint; installed and upgraded

independently of RecoverPoint

Splitter Type How Deployed Overhead

Array-based In Enginuity, FLARE operating system, GeoSynchrony, or in VNX operating environment

No impact; recommended

Fabric-based In intelligent storage services hardware on a Brocade- or Cisco-based switch Operates at wire speeds; no impact

Host-based In I/O stack just above the multi-path software

Adds write traffic at the HBA; no other impact


Array/Platform Based Write Splitters Write splitting in the platform or array

Required for VPLEX and Symmetrix VMAX 10K

Supports physical and virtualized servers

Supported on: – Symmetrix VMAX 40K – Symmetrix VMAX 20K with 5876 – Symmetrix VMAX 10K with 5875 or 5876 – VPLEX Local with GeoSynchrony 5.1 – VPLEX Metro with GeoSynchrony 5.1 – VNX part of VNX Operating Environment – CX3/CX4 part of FLARE

Splitter

Copy of write (split write)

RecoverPoint appliance

Not in primary data path

Original write


Host-Based Write Splitters Supported* on AIX, Solaris, and Windows

Lightweight code that installs on each server that accesses a replicated LUN

Splits or “duplicates” writes to production LUNs and sends a copy to the RecoverPoint appliance (RPA)

Replication traffic flows through an available HBA

* Host-based write splitters are only supported by RecoverPoint/CL

User Space

Kernel

Manages kernel software and responds to RPA commands; collects logging and transfers to RPA over IP

HBA

NIC

Looks at each write; splits (duplicates the data) any write to a protected LUNs and sends the copy to RPA over FC using any available HBA

Integration with VMware vCenter Server

RecoverPoint queries vCenter Servers for list of VMs

Protection status is shown on RecoverPoint GUI

Protection status is available from RecoverPoint CLI

RecoverPoint issues an alert for unprotected VMs – Existing VM not protected by RecoverPoint – Existing VMs storage moved (e.g., Storage vMotion) – New VM created that is not protected by RecoverPoint

Can filter protection status by ESX server, virtual machine, or LUN

• RecoverPoint journal can be virtually provisioned if necessary

• RecoverPoint is thin aware – RecoverPoint recognizes thin LUNs – Preserves allocation of thin LUNs—during

initial synchronization, resynchronization – Allows mixing of thin and thick LUNs

Replicate between CLARiiON CX4 and non-CX4 Replicate between different Enginuity

versions – Virtual-to-virtual (thin-to-thin) replication

• RecoverPoint only considers LUN capacity as presented to the SAN
